Brain Lock

i picked up the book Brain Lock and started reading it.. i have to say lots of good info in it.. i dont know if it will actually help me overcome my OCD but reading some of the stuff other ppl with OCD have delt with is very helpful.. one thing that really stuck in my brain from reading this was i am not a nut case and actually have a disease.. i never really accepted that i had a disease before.. i dont know what i thought was going on i just knew i wasnt right and knew i had OCD but never really knew what caused it.. anyone else read it? your thoughts?

Re: Brain Lock

hi, yes i thought it was a good read, very easy to understand too. I have started another book called stop obsessing - i'm going to have a whole library and be an OCD expert soon.

Re: Brain Lock

Personally, I don't care for Schwartz's methods b/c his mantra of "It's not me, it's OCD" is basically just creating another mental compulsion when an obsession strikes, but I know a lot of people have been helped by it, so I'm very happy for you! Whatever works, do it! My personal favorite is "Tormenting Thoughts and Secret Rituals: The Hidden Epidemic of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder" by Ian Osborn, b/c not only was it written by an actual OCD-er, but it was the book that convinced me, without a doubt, that this was, in fact, what was wrong with me, and helped me seek treatment. Good luck and God bless!

Re: Brain Lock

punkdizzle I bought the book you're reading, and also the book "the boy who couldn't stop washing". I haven't started either yet, but plan to soon.

Gatsyby I wrote down the title of the one you recommended, and will probably check that out too. Thanks!
